NOTICE

To prevent vehicle damage:

•

Due to higher load during trailer

usage, overheating might occur

on hot days or during uphill driv-

ing. If the coolant gauge indi-

cates over-heating, switch off

the air conditioner and stop the

vehicle in a safe area to cool

down the engine.

•

Do not switch off the engine

while the coolant gauge indi-

cates over-heating.

(Keep the engine idle to cool

down the engine)

•

If your vehicle is not equipped

with an air conditioner, you

should install a condenser fan

to improve engine performance

when towing a trailer.
